Brachiosaurus was a massive plant-eating dinosaur that lived in
the late Jurassic period (156 to 145 million years ago), and may
have survived even until 140 million years ago, into the early
Cretaceous period. Brachiosaurus fossils
have been found in North America and Africa, the very first example
having been discovered by Elmer S. Riggs in
Grand River Canyon,
western Colorado
in 1900.
Of all the land animals for which a complete skeleton exists, Brachiosaurus
is the largest and heaviest. An average Brachiosaurus was 75 feet (22.9 metres)
long, 41 feet (12.5 metres) tall, and weighed 89 tons (almost three times
the weight of Apatosaurus).
Brachiosaurus was unusual
among dinosaurs, in that its front legs were longer than
its hind legs. This, together with its very long neck,
gave Brachiosaurus the ability to eat foliage at the
top of trees as high as 40 or 50 feet (12.2 to 15.2 metres) above the ground.

Product Description: We often imagine dinosaurs as colossal flesh eating beasts that once roamed ancient landscapes. These "terrible lizards" occupied all the lands of our planet for eons. Of the hundreds of different species, some were indeed gigantic but many were comparable in size to our largest breeds of dog, and were often vegetarian. This wonderful pack of illustrated playing cards, the work of artist Cecilia Fitzsimons, brings to life 54 different types of dinosaurs, giving an indication of their size, together with the area and prehistoric period in which they lived. We continue to marvel at these strange and widely diverse creatures as we try to complete our understanding of life in the age of the dinosaurs. |
